"Hmm?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
As soon as they stepped out of the White Cloud Inn, they saw a group of martial artists in various colored star armors. They formed a fan-shaped formation, and there were more than ten of them. The leading martial artist was unusually burly. His height of more than two meters made him stand out among the crowd. The giant axe behind him was equally domineering.
It was Bo Xiong!
The crowd was obviously waiting for him and Yumo.
At this moment, countless people had gathered around and were whispering to each other. They were all here to watch the show. The Heavenly King Gang was quite powerful in Shakya District. It could be seen from the way Bo Xiong led his people to surround the inn. Lin Feng's eyes lit up instantly. He remembered what Bo Xiong said in the Red Stone Hall.
"I, Bo Xiong, will let you walk out of Shakya District alive. I'll chop my head off and let you sit on it!" That thunderous roar still lingered in his mind. Lin Feng sighed.
He didn't expect Bo Xiong to be so stupid. He didn't even care about the County City Lord Wang Mo.
He brought this upon himself!
Pa! Lin Feng reached out his right hand calmly and shielded Yumo behind him.
The latter's beautiful eyes flashed, and she felt a tinge of sweetness in her heart. She didn't go against Lin Feng's good intentions. A smart woman knew when to advance and when to retreat. Moreover, Yumo thought that Bo Xiong's strength might be as strong as a level-five Cosmic Sector-level, but …
Lin Da Ge was stronger!
Being able to kill a level-nine Cosmic Sector-level Celestial Dog was enough to prove his strength.
"If you want to fight, I'll accompany you to the end." Lin Feng looked straight at Bo Xiong and said slowly. Every word was sonorous, like a heavy rock landing on the ground, shocking everyone. There was an uproar in the surroundings. They didn't expect this ordinary-looking young man to dare to go against the Heavenly King Gang.
He wasn't afraid at all!
"How bold."
"Tsk, trying to be a hero doesn't know where to look."
"That's right. How dare he challenge the Heavenly King Gang. This kid really doesn't want his life anymore."
…
Many people had admiration in their eyes, but even more people had mockery in their eyes.
In their view, Lin Feng was simply overestimating his own ability!
But …
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
"Plop!" "Plop!" With Bo Xiong taking the lead, dozens of Heavenly King Faction's cultivators all knelt on the ground. They didn't kneel on one knee out of courtesy, but on both knees! The scene was filled with shock, and the surroundings were completely silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded, including Lin Feng and Lin Yumo.
What was he doing?
"I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me for offending you just now, Young Master Lin." Bo Xiong apologized with a shy smile, but he had long forgotten about his face.
In any case, he had already lost all his face in the Famous Pavilion, so it wouldn't be a big deal to lose it again. A great man knew when to yield and when to stand tall. As long as he was alive, there was hope. If he offended a strong enemy because of this, and even offended the County City Lord, then his death would be too unjust.
What a joke. This young man in front of him could kill a Celestial Dog Race Level Nine Star Sector-level. That was personally said by the County City Lord. How could it be false?
Although he couldn't see how powerful Lin Feng was, the more this was the case, the scarier it was.
Thinking about how Lin Feng was calm in the Red Stone Hall, it was obvious that victory was in his hands.
And the most important thing was …
Behind Lin Feng was the powerful County City Lord!
He could even uproot the Heavenly King Gang with just a word.
Bo Xiong smiled awkwardly. Seeing that Lin Feng still didn't speak, he felt a chill in his heart. He immediately turned around and roared, "Why aren't you apologizing to Young Master Lin?!" His voice was like thunder, but it brought the surrounding people back to their senses.
Did they see wrongly?
The dignified Heavenly King Faction's leader, Bo Xiong, was kowtowing and apologizing?
This young man …
Where did he come from?!
At this moment, a loud kowtow sound came from behind Bo Xiong.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Lin. It's my fault. I was blinded by lard. It's all my fault …" Black Bull kept kowtowing and sweating profusely. He was in a dilemma now. He had offended both Lin Feng and Bo Xiong. If he didn't atone for his sins, he wouldn't even know how he died.
"Wow!" There was an uproar in the surroundings.
Everyone was whispering to each other. The way they looked at Lin Feng had completely changed.
The martial artist who was mocking Lin Feng just now had his face flushed red. The contempt from before had long disappeared and was replaced by fear and dread. It was a deep fear.
He had hidden his strength well!
The young man in front of them had a rather powerful background.
To be able to make a domineering Heavenly King kowtow and apologize on the streets, that was a miracle that had never happened in Sakya District.
Lin Feng looked at Yumo. Their eyes met, but they didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought Bo Xiong had brought people to seek revenge, but he didn't expect him to play such a trick. Now that everyone was looking at him, Lin Feng felt a headache coming on.
He had undoubtedly been high-profile again.
"Let's go, Yumo." Lin Feng nodded.
"Mm." Lin Yumo smiled and didn't object.
As if their hearts were connected, the two of them rose into the air in an instant.
They didn't pay attention to the Heavenly King Faction members who were still kneeling on the ground and left directly.
The surrounding crowd was left in a flurry of discussion. Bo Xiong couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Although Lin Feng didn't say anything, it was obvious that he didn't intend to argue with him. It was a blessing in disguise. As for the County City Lord, Bo Xiong frowned and let out a long sigh. The result was out of his control.
He had done everything he could to salvage the situation.
…
"They're really fun." Lin Yumo smiled softly.
"They bully the weak and fear the strong. In fact, they fear the County City Lord." Lin Feng smiled calmly. He understood very well.
Even if he had the strength of a peak Star Sector-level, these Heavenly King Faction martial artists wouldn't throw everything aside and kneel on the street. After all, this would be a great blow to the Heavenly King Faction's reputation. The main reason they knelt to him was because of the County City Lord.
Offering Buddha with borrowed flowers.
They admitted defeat.
"Yeah, I didn't expect to meet the County City Lord at the Famed Tower." Lin Yumo's beautiful eyes flashed in disbelief.
They were so lucky to meet the top power holder of Shiluo County.
And the most important thing was …
"Lin Da Ge, are you very close to Shi Zhixin?" Lin Yumo asked curiously.
"You can say that friendship grows after a fight." Lin Feng smiled. He vaguely remembered the little girl who was clamoring to "judge him" in the Wizard of Oz. By chance, they had experienced an unforgettable battle side by side and established a deep friendship.
"I heard that her background is very mysterious. Now, it seems that it is indeed extraordinary." Lin Yumo's beautiful eyes flashed as she spoke softly.
In her opinion, even the County City Lord, Wang Mo, seemed to be quite "wary" of Shi Zhixin.
"She is indeed extraordinary." Lin Feng nodded.
What Yumo saw, he saw as well.
Moreover, the County City Lord was taking such good care of him mostly because of Shi Zhixin.
"White Cloud Tower …" Lin Feng murmured. He was rather curious.
"Lin Da Ge, tell me how you two met," Lin Yumo said with a smile.
"Gossip." Lin Feng smiled.
They flew quickly and disappeared in an instant.
…
…
After a full three days and three nights, the first round of the preliminaries finally ended.
The ten Shiluo Battle Arenas all had different progressions. The fastest one lasted for two days and two nights. After all, there was a huge disparity in strength in the first 100 rounds, but after the 200th round, the strength began to average out. The last 200 rounds were even more intense. Almost every round was a battle of life and death.
The difference between victory and defeat was only a thin line.
Some were happy while others were sad. The competition was quite tragic.
The death rate was more than 10%, and the rate of serious injuries was close to 30%!
Only less than 10% of the warriors passed the battle unscathed and entered the second round of the preliminaries. In the second round, the Stage One Star Sector-level warriors who entered the preliminaries would no longer be left empty. They would compete with the warriors who advanced in the first round in their strongest state and strength to enter the third round of the preliminaries!
Each round was crueler than the last.
…
Lin clan.
"No wonder there is a three-month break between each round." Lin Zhen sighed.
"The rate of injuries in this year's Vermilion Bird Challenge is too shocking. Without enough time to rest, the severely injured warriors won't be able to fight in the second round." Lin Yan stroked his long beard and said slowly. Previously, they were still a little confused about the three-month break, but now they completely understood.
For a severely injured warrior to recover his combat strength, even three months might not be enough!
However, at least 70% to 80% of his strength could be recovered, and he would be able to fight.
"Sigh, the preliminaries are indeed the place of the strong. In the first round alone, one of the eight advanced warriors of the Lin Clan died and three were severely injured." Lin Zhen sighed. The Lin Clan was not a clan known for its martial strength. The effort spent to nurture a warrior with outstanding combat strength far exceeded that of the Wu Clan in the Qianluo District.
One death meant one less.
It was a pity.
"It's not bad. At least three of our clansmen entered the second round." Lin Yan nodded. "Including Lin Jiaorao, who didn't get a bye in the first round, we have four clansmen participating in the second round."
"Mhm, Yumo's opponent in the next round isn't strong. He should be able to enter the third round." Lin Zhen flipped through the battle list. The first round was already over, and the second round's opponents were revealed. "Miao Sheng's opponent is Wu Song from the Hua Yan Sect. He's too strong, and his chances of advancing are slim."
"Jiaorao, on the other hand, is facing Ji Huo, who is also a first-stage cosmic realm state. They are evenly matched, and their chances of winning are 50-50."
"Among everyone, Lin Fan should be the one with the least suspense. His opponent should be …"
Lin Yan flipped through the battle list and was stunned.
As though he had seen a demon, his eyes widened as he stood rooted to the ground.
"If I remember correctly, Lin Fan's opponent should be Wu Kai from the Ruyi District, who didn't get a bye in the first round." Lin Yan smiled faintly.
"No, it's not Wu Kai." Lin Zhen shook his head in a daze.
"Hmm?" Lin Yan was surprised, and his brows furrowed. "I shouldn't have remembered wrongly."
"Yan Lao, look," Lin Zhen's eyes flashed, and he pointed at Lin Fan's name on the battle list with a bitter smile. Lin Yan looked over, only to see a row of words clearly written beside Lin Fan's name — —
Qianluo District, Lin clan's Lin Feng.
"Huh?!" Lin Yan was shocked, and his eyes widened as he looked at Lin Zhen.
The two looked at each other in the eye.
